The lecture by PhDr. Ladislav Zikmund-Lender showed that the unique modern urbanism and architecture in Hradec Králové laid references to historic periods, systematically incorporated public green zones in the concept of the metropolis as well as organically interconnected progressive and traditional architectural forms. Additionally, because of a liberal environment in the city, there was a unique permeation of national identities in shaping the modern architecture – Czech and German – and various religious backgrounds – Catholic, Jewish, Protestant and after 1918 a new Czechoslovak church which became very popular.

At the beginning of the 20th century Zlín was a small town with no more but regional importance. But then the Baťa family began to develop the shoe factory and build the company town nearby. Thus emerged an extraordinary example of a modernist city complex, but the architectural heritage is quickly vanishing under sediments of recent conversions. The presentation by Klára Eliášová and Barbora Vacková introduced the book “The Baťa Home: Zlín’s Vanishing Architectural Elements” focusing on the residential architecture in Zlín, specifically on the family houses intended for the company employees.

The early 20th century and in particular the interwar years saw the rise of a range of new urbanist and architectural visions in Czechoslovakia. After years of Viennese influence, suddenly the opportunity was at hand to turn Prague into a modern big city and fulfill the Czech nation’s aspirations for independence. Many competitions were organised for designs of buildings or even entire areas and these designs envisioned significant changes to the look of the city. The great majority of projects proposed were never ultimately brought to life. Klára Brůhová presented her book, which focuses on these unrealised projects.
